What do you do after an Architecture Interview?

After an architecture interview, your job is to stay professional, follow up clearly and keep the rest of your search moving.

Jack Moran, Will Ridgway and Stephen Drew discuss what to do after an architecture interview, including follow-up emails, feedback, offers, rejection, salary considerations, interview expectations and keeping the wider job search moving.

The conversation covers:

How to follow up after an architecture interview without overdoing it
Why feedback is useful, but should not stop the rest of the search
How to think about offers, timing and expectations
What rejection can tell you if you handle it properly
Why salary, experience and long-term fit all need to be weighed up
